DO  YOU  KNOW? 

"The  child  with  no  schooling  has  1 
chance  in  150,000  of  performing  distin- 
guished service;  with  an  elementary  edu- 
cation he  has  4  times  that  chance;  with 
a  high  school  education,  87  times  that 
chance;  with  a  college  education,  800 
times  that  chance." 

WHAT  CHANCE  WILL  YOU  TAKE? 


AT  THE  PARTING 

OF  THE  WAYS 


This  bulletin  is  prepared  for  that  splendid  army  of  young 
people  of  our  great  Northwest  who,  this  spring,  have  gradu- 
ated from  high  school.  It  is  a  natural  crisis  in  your  life,  a 
parting  of  the  ways,  probably  your  first  great  decision.  A 
decision  to  go  to  college  does  not  insure  a  successful  life,  but 
a  decision  not  to  go  to  college  will,  in  all  probability,  shut 
you  out  from  those  courses  of  largest  influence  and  highest 
endeavor.  If  you  can  make  a  success  without  a  college  edu- 
cation you  can  make  a  larger  success  with  the  added  college 
discipline. 

But  now  is  the  parting  of  your  ways,  now  is  the  time  of 
choosing. 

THINK !     Young  people,  THINK ! 


THE  SMALL  COLLEGE 

Manjr  of  you  are  no  longer  debating  the  question  of  go- 
ing to  college.  That  is  all  settled.  You  are,  however,  much 
concerned  with  the  question  of  "what  college?"  "Shall  I 
attend  the  large  state  supported  school  or  the  eastern  uni- 
versity with  its  huge  endowment  and  long  tradition,  or  shall 
I  cast  my  lot  with  the  church  college  in  the  proximity  of  my 
own  home  with  its  smaller  student  body  and  its  more  modest 
surroundings  ?" 

Remember  the  point  for  you  to  settle  is  not  which  school 
has  the  more  buildings,  the  more  elaborate  social  life,  the 
more  luxurious  surroundings,  the  better  teams,  the  bigger 
games.  The  point  is,  "which  type  of  school  will  give  you  the 
training  that  you  need?".     Let  us  think  about  it  for  a  moment. 

In  the  first  place  the  small  school  must  be  a  good  school. 
Unless  the  small  college  has  a  faculty  trained  and  high 
minded,  an  equipment  adequate  for  ordinary  needs,  buildings 
which  are  safe,  sanitary  and  commodious,  she  has,  in  common 
honesty,  no  right  to  solicit  your  attendance.  The  advantages 
of  the  small  college  apply,  of  course,  to  the  good  small 
college. 

The  small  college  will  give  you  the  "personal  touch." 
The  facutly  know  you,  not  your  name,  your  seat  in  the  lecture 
hall,  but  YOU.  The  faculty  member's  experience  is  at  your 
service;  his  sympathy  is  ready  to  encourage  all  honest  effort; 
his  scorn  is  quick  to  condemn  all  insincerity.  He  is  a  "real 
human  being"  at  your  service. 

The  small  college  will  give  you  a  splendid  opportunity 
for  training  in  leadership.  Student  activities  are  at  high  tide; 
debates,  games,  gospel  teams,  excursions,  picnics,  society 
functions  and  religious  services  crowd  upon  one  with  almost 
bewildering  confusion.  There  are  many  opportunities  for 
leadership  and  you  will  find  an  opportunity  to  show  your 
worth. 

The  small  college  is  a  religious  college.  A  wholesome, 
frank  atmosphere  of  genuine  religion  permeates  the  school. 
"High  thinking  and  simple  living"  are  matters  of  course.  In- 
struction and  training  and  inspiration  for  complete  living  are 
yours  for  the  taking. 

Morningside  invites  your  inspection.  She  claims  to  be  a 
good  small  college.     You  are  invited  into  her  fellowship. 


LOCATION  AND  BUILDINGS 

Morningside  College  stands  on  the  crest  of  a  low  hill 
from  which  can  be  seen  the  Missouri  River  and  the  rich  farm 
lands  of  the  three  states  (Iowa,  Nebraska  and  South  Dakota) 
from  which  the  college  draws  its  constituency.  The  rolling 
hills  along  this  river  form  the  most  beautiful  section  of  these 
states,  and  Sioux  City  has  provided  in  her  magnificent  parks 
for  the  preservation  of  this  scenery  in  its  primal  loveliness. 
The  college  stands  on  a  campus  of  some  thirty  acres  dotted 
with  young  trees  of  both  hard  and  soft  woods,  and  crossed 
by  cement  walks  and  cinder  paths  leading  to  the  main  build- 
ings. Along  one  side  of  the  campus  runs  an  excellent  trolley 
service  which  brings  one  in  twenty  minutes  to  the  heart  of 
Sioux  City.  Morningside  is  just  far  enough  from  the  city  to 
be  relieved  of  the  disagreeable  features  of  city  life,  but  near 
enough  to  profit  by  all  advantages  a  city  offers.  The  time  has 
passed  when  a  college  should  boast  of  the  negative  virtues  de- 
rived from  seclusion.  The  modern  college  realizes  that  to 
seclude  itself  means  to  deprive  itself  of  the  aesthetic  and  edu- 
cational advantages  which  make  vice  impotent.  Nearly  one- 
half  of  our  population  now  resides  in  cities.  The  political, 
educational,  religious,  industrial  and  sociological  problems  of 
city  life  are  the  problems  of  the  age.  The  city  is  the  battle- 
ground of  civilization. 

BUILDINGS 

The  college  buildings  have  been  built  in  recent  years  and 
are  all  of  substantial  fire-proof  construction,  covered  with  a 
roofing  of  red  tile,  lighted  by  gas  and  electricity,  and  heated 
from  a  central  heating  plant. 

College  Hall  is  one  of  the  most  complete  college  build- 
ings in  this  part  of  the  country.  This  is  the  main  recitation 
hall,  and  contains  the  class  and  lecture  rooms,  the  labora- 
tories, the  executive  offices,  the  halls  of  the  collegiate  literary 
societies,  the  college  library,  and  the  chapel. 

The  Gymnasium  was  opened  for  use  in  1914,  completed 
at  a  cost  of  $50,000,  and  is  one  of  the  best  in  the  state. 

The  first  floor  contains  the  shower,  dressing  and  locker 
rooms  for  both  men  and  women;  also  a  separate  dressing 
room  for  athletic  teams  and  a  room  for  boxing  and  wrestling. 
The  second  floor  contains  the  gymnasium  floor  proper,  which 
is  60  by  120  feet;  also  two  office  rooms  for  the  athletic  di- 
rectors. A  cork  running  track,  eighteen  laps  to  the  mile,  is 
suspended  above  the  main  floor.  This  floor  space  is  large 
enough  to   allow   two  basketball  games  to  be   played  at  one 


5 


time.     Provision  has  been  made   for  indoor  baseball,  volley- 
ball and  handball. 

The  old  Conservatory  building  was  destroyed  by  fire  on 
the  morning  of  Sunday,  December,  6,  1914.  It  has  done  duty 
for  twenty-four  years,  first  as  a  main  building  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  the  Northwest,  then  as  the  main  College  building,  and 
finally  as  the  Conservatory  of  Music. 

The  new  building  was  begun  in  July,  1915,  and  was  com- 
pleted during  the  third  week  in  November.  The  external 
appearance  differs  from  that  of  the  old  building  in  the  absence 
of  the  tower  and  the  changed  roof.  The  old  walls  have  been 
carried  up  three  or  four  feet,  and  the  slope  of  the  roof  so 
altered  that  the  third  floor  does  not  require  dormer  windows 
as  formerly.  The  whole  north  half  of  the  first  floor  is  de- 
voted to  the  Recital  Hall,  which  contains  opera  chairs  for  100, 
with  room  for  about  twenty-five  additional  chairs. 


SCHOLASTIC  STANDING 

The  schoolastic  standing  of  Morningside  has  always  been 
high.  The  excellent  and,  in  some  cases,  distinguished  records 
made  by  Morningside  graduates  in  the  graduate  colleges  and 
professional  schools  of  the  best  universities  have  won  for 
the  college  favorable  recognition  in  the  higher  educational 
centers  of  the  land. 

The  best  test  of  a  strong  college  is  the  strength  and  char- 
acter of  her  faculty.  The  teaching  staff  at  Morningside  is 
composed  of  men  and  women  equipped  with  the  best  training 
in  their  several  departments,  that  American  and  European 
Universities  can  furnish.  They  have  a  devotion  and  enthu- 
siasm for  their  work,  highly  stimulative  to  their  students,  as 
well  as  a  sympathetic  understanding  of  the  student's  problems 
and  an  appreciation  for  difficulties. 

The  work  of  the  faculty  and  the  grade  of  work  produced 
at  Morningside  has  been  recognized  by  several  of  the  leading 
educational  authorities  of  the  land.  In  order  that  the  scholas- 
tic record  of  the  college  may  be  brought  to  the  attention  of  the 
authorities  placing  Morningside  high  in  educational  circles 
are  named: 

IOWA  STATE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

First  grade  state  certificates  are  granted  without  exami- 
nation to  graduates  of  Morningside  College  who  have  pursued 
successfully  a  three  hour  course  in  Psychology  throughout  the 
year  and  courses  in  Education  to  the  amount  of  fourteen  se- 
mester hours. 

Second  grade  state  certificates  are  granted  without  ex- 
amination to  those  students  who  have  successfully  completed 
the  two  year  grade  teachers  course. 

Special  certificates  are  granted  without  examination  to 
those  who  complete  the  Public  School  Music  course. 

Morningside  College  cannot  supply  the  demand  for  her 
graduates  for  teaching  positions. 

NORTH  CENTRAL  ASSOCIATION  OF  COLLEGES 
AND  SECONDARY  SCHOOLS 

This  association  is  composed  of  the  leading  educational 
institutions  in  the  sixteen  states  of  the  territory.  Annually  it 
thoroughly  examines  every  institution  on  its  membership  roll 
and  tests  out  its  qualifications  for  renewed  membership. 
Morningside's  eligibility  has  been  unquestioned. 


THE  UNIVERSITY  SENATE  OF  THE  METHODIST 
EPISCOPAL  CHURCH 

This  is  a  body  of  the  MethodistEpiscopal  Church  which 
has  the  authority  to  set  standards  for  institutions  and  to  de- 
termine when  they  have  adhered  to  them.  The  University 
Senate  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  fully  accredits  all 
the  work  done  in  Morningside  College  and  recognizes  the  in- 
stitution in  Class  A  of  its  list  of  schools. 


ASSOCIATION  OF  AMERICAN  UNIVERSITIES 

An  examination  by  this  standardizing  agency  was  made 
of  Morningside's  faculty,  course  of  study,  equipment,  busi- 
ness administration,  financial  status,  and  the  quality  of  the 
work  done  by  Morningside  College  Alumni  in  the  graduate 
and  professional  schools  with  the  result  that  the  Association 
of  American  Universities  placed  Morningside  on  the  approved 
list  of  Colleges. 


ASSOCIATION  OF  COLLEGIATE  ALUMNAE 

The  scholastic  standards  of  this  organization  have  been 
exceptionally  high.  Special  requirements,  too,  are  made  as 
to  the  care  and  needs  of  the  women  students.  At  present 
seventy-nine  institutions  are  on  its  approved  list.  Among 
them  is  Morningside. 


THE  GENERAL  EDUCATION  BOARD  OF 
NEW  YORK  CITY 

This  Board  has  under  its  control  several  millions  of  dol- 
lars for  the  aid  of  thoroughly  standardized  institutions.  It 
employs  a  strictly  scientific  system  of  inspecting  and  rating 
colleges.  For  two  years  it  made  a  careful  survey  of  all  the 
colleges  of  Wisconsin,  Minnesota,  and  Iowa,  and  in  1907, 
selected  six  colleges  from  these  states  to  which  it  would  give 
recognition.  Morningside  was  one  of  them  and  from  time  to 
time  since  then  has  been  the  recipient  of  its  generous 
benefactions. 

THE  GRADUATE  SCHOOLS 

Graduates  from  Morningside  College  have  been  awarded 
scholarships  and  fellowships  in  the  leading  graduate  schools 
in  the  United  States,  and  have  successfully  met  the  require- 
ments for  advanced  degrees. 


PRE-PROFESSIONAL 
COURSES 


On  the  following  pages  are  found  a  number 
of  courses  grouped  to  meet  the  desire  of  those 
students  who  may  wish  the  opportunities  of 
Morningside  College  for  preparation  in  spe- 
cific professional  activities.  We  have  outlined 
courses  for  those  fields  of  activity  for  which 
there  seems  to  be  the  greatest  demand.  The 
lists  are  by  no  means  an  exhaustive  statement 
of  the  courses  offered.

This  is  a  tentative  schedule  and  it  is  not  expected  that 
every  student  in  the  department  will  take  all  the  courses 
offered.  Those  interested  in  Foreign  Trade,  for  example,  may 
desire  additional  work  in  Foreign  Languages  and  in  Political 
Science.  In  other  special  fields  the  student  will  find  addi- 
tional wrork  in  the  sciences  helpful.

PRE-ENGINEERING  COURSE 

The  field  of  engineering  is  broad  and  fundamental  in 
modern  civilization.  It  embraces  every  craft  developed  by 
the  human  race  including  agriculture,  manufacturing,  trans- 
portation and  the  communication  of  intelligence. 

In  view  of  the  ever  increasing  demands  upon  the  young 
engineer  a  foundation  for  his  training  can  be  laid  only  in  a 
thorough  study  of  Mathematics,  Physics,  Chemistry  and  re- 
lated sciences.  These  are  the  very  cornerstones  without  which 
the  engineer  could  not  build  a  single  structure. 

In  addition  to  these  courses  it  is  generally  agreed  by 
progressive  engineers  that  a  certain  amount  of  liberal  arts 
work  should  be  prescribed.  The  pre-engineer  should  pursue 
courses  in  English,  Rhetoric  and  Public  Sj)eaking  in  order  that 
he  may  express  himself  clearly  and  forcibly.  A  substantial 
foundation  in  Psychology,  History,  Political  Science  and  Eco- 
nomics  is   also   of   great   value. 

The  Dean  of  Engineering  in  one  of  our  large  State 
Universities  says,  "that  if  the  engineer  has  to  choose  between 
a  good  general  education  and  one  in  narrow  technical  lines 
he  would  have  better  chances  of  success  with  the  former  for 
it  is  possible  for  any  well  educated  man  to  pick  up  in  actual 
practice  of  his  profession  most  of  the  technical  details,  but 
it  is  not  practical  for  one  man  in  ten  thousand  to  acquire  a 
good  general  education  anywhere  except  in  an  institution  of 
higher  learning." 

The  courses  in  pre-engineering  at  Morningside  are  closely 
co-related  with  those  of  the  schools  of  engineering  at  the  State 
Universities  at  Iowa  City  and  Ames.  A  student  may  pur- 
sue three  years  of  selected  work  at  Morningside  and  two 
years  of  engineering  at  the  professional  school  securing  de- 
grees from  both  institutions  in  five  years. 

The  equipment  at  Morningside  is  adequate  for  the  work 
presented  and  lectures  are  supplemented  by  shop  observa- 
tions in  the  varied  industries.  Sioux  City  is  admirably 
adapted  to  this  end  and  our  pre-engineering  students  visit 
manufacturing  and  power  plants,  making  specific  reports  on 
their  studies  of  the  equipment  in  use. 

A  pre-engineering  society  has  been  organized  and  pro- 
fessional engineers  from  the  city  deliver  lectures  on  the  dif- 
ferent phases  of  their  work.  The  Sioux  City  Engineering 
Society  has  also  invited  the  pre-engineers  to  attend  some  of 
its  meetings.  These  associations  and  relations  with  practic- 
ing engineers  are  very  stimulating  to  the  prospective  engineer. 

In  addition  to  the  special  features  enumerated  above, 
Morningside  College  affords   the   advantages  of  a  small   col- 


12 


lege,  close  supervision  of  the  student's  work  and  broad  oppor- 
tunities for  self  culture  and  religious  development.

PRE-LEGAL  COURSE 

In  line  with  the  tendency  to  utilize  the  Liberal  Arts  course 
for  specific  preparation  for  a  definite  profession,  Morningside 
College  offers  also  a  Pre-legal  course. 

The  colleges  of  law  in  the  leading  American  universities 
have  now  become  practically  post-graduate  schools  since  they 
admit  only  those  who  hold  the  bachelor's  degree  or  who  have 
had  a  large  amount  of  college  work.  Such  a  demand  has  re- 
sulted from  the  very  obvious  fact  that,  of  all  the  professions, 
the  law  demands  versatility.  To  gain  recognition  in  his  pro- 
fession the  lawyer  of  today  must  have  more  than  the  training 
offered  by  the  "down  town"  law  school,  which  admits  the 
high  school  graduate  without  the  very  essential  training  of- 
fered by  the  college  course.  The  young  man  entering  the 
legal  profession  with  only  the  high  school  preparation  finds 
himself  at  a  tremendous  handicap,  and  unless  he  is  a  very  real 
exception,  his  chances  for  a  genuine  success  are  quite  small. 
Experience  has  shown  that  three  years  of  college  work  is  the 
very  minimum  of  preparation  he  can  safely  dare  to  offer. 

Morningside  College  suggests  the  following  course  of 
study  for  the  student  who  is  intending  to  enter  law.  Al- 
thouge  he  is  strongly  urged  to  continue  for  four  years  in  his 
college  work,  arrangement  can  be  made  by  which  the  student 
who  completes  the  requirements  for  graduation  at  Morning- 
side College  may  be  allowed  to  enter  a  law  school  and  offer 
his  law  courses  in  lieu  of  the  senior  work  in  residence  at 
Morningside. 

In  addition  to  the  courses  in  History,  English,  Science, 
Mathematics,  etc.,  required  for  the  bachelor's  degree,  the 
prospective  attorney  is  advised  to  elect  the  following  courses :

PUBLIC  SCHOOL  MUSIC 

Beginning  September,  1921,  the  department  of  School 
Music  in  Morningside  Conservatory  will  be  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Mr.  George  Hubbard,  of  Oberlin  College,  a  supervisor 
of  extensive  experience  and  an  authority  on  present  day 
methods  of  school  music  teaching. 

Mr.  Hubbard  will  have  complete  charge  of  all  public 
school  music  classes  and  will  supervise  all  practice  teaching. 

THE  COURSE 

The  present  curriculum,  while  meeting  the  demands  of 
the  state  board  of  examiners  for  a  two  years  colrse,  will  be 
considerably  enlarged  and  more  time  devoted  to  practice 
teaching  and  observing. 

The  course  aims  to  prepare  students  to  supervise  the 
teaching  of  music  in  the  grades  and  to  carry  on  the  more  ex- 
tensive instruction  in  music  now  common  to  the  modern  high 
school.  Two  years  of  study  are  required,  special  emphasis 
being  placed  on  Musicianship  as  well  as  the  special  material 
relating  directly  to  the  teaching  of  School  Music. 

For  the  purpose  of  acquiring  musicianship,  work  in 
Piano,  Voice  and  Theory  (including  Harmony,  History  of 
Music  and  Appreciation)  are  carried  throughout  the  entire 
course  except  in  the  case  of  advanced  pupils  who  have  al- 
ready made  a  satisfactory  study  of  these  subjects. 

First  Year 

The  class  in  Public  School  Music  meets  five  times  a 
week,  one-half  the  time  throughout  the  year  being  spent  in 
Ear  Training  and  Sight  Singing,  the  other  half  being  divided 
between  a  course  in  Notation  and  Terminology  in  the  first 
semester,  and  one  in  Conducting  the  second  semester. 

Second  Year 

The  second  years  of  Public  School  Music  takes  up  the 
study  of  Principles  and  Methods  of  Teaching,  Elementary 
Psychology  and  Child  Study.  A  course  in  school  music  meth- 
ods is  outlined,  covering  the  work  of  each  grade  in  such  man- 
ner as  to  apply  to  actual  school  conditions  as  they  exist  in 
the  country  today. 

Another  part  of  the  work  consists  of  a  study  of  Materials, 
in  which  a  critical  study  is  made  of  the  verse,  music  and  plan 
of  procedure  of  the  leading  music  courses.  The  remainder  of 
the  time  is  spent  in  a  study  of  the  child's  voice,  melody  writ- 
ing and  High  School  Music  and  Practice  Teaching.

An  Exceptional  Field  for  Practice  and  Observation 

The  Sioux  City  Public  School  system  is  an  extensive  one, 
consisting  of  twenty-four  grade  schools,  three  Junior  High 
Schools,  and  one  Senior  High  School,  housing  about  two  thou- 
sand pupils.  This  affords  an  unusual  opportunity  for  observ- 
ing every  phase  of  music  teaching  from  the  kindergarten  work 
in  the  first  grades  to  the  varied  musical  activities  of  the  high 
School.  Advanced  students  are  required  to  do  a  specified 
amount  of  actual  teaching  under  the  supervision  of  the  head  of 
the  school  music  department. 


SCHOOL  OF  EXPRESSION 

The  School  of  Expression,  which  is  a  regularly  organized 
department  of  the  college,  offers  courses  to  cover  all  phases 
of  expression  work.  The  aim  of  the  school  is  to  stimulate  in 
the  student  a  higher  appreciation  of  what  is  best  and  noblest 
in  life  and  literature  and  to  train  him  to  more  efficient  read- 
ing and  speaking  by  awakening  him  to  his  own  possibilities. 
The  methods  used  are  based  upon  psychological  principles 
and  the  student's  development  is  along  natural  lines.  Special 
attention  is  given  to  the  manifestation  of  thought  and  emotion 
through  the  body  alone,  which  increases  the  student's  powers 
of  expression  by  teaching  him  to  rely  upon  inward  conception 
and  not  upon  outward  form.  All  gesture  work  is  based  upon 
natural  and  spontaneous  bodily  responses. 

A  life  Study  and  Personation  class  through  the  Junior 
year,  in  which  characters  from  life  and  literature  are  studied 
and  presented,  is  followed  in  the  Senior  year  by  Dramatic  Art 
and  Shakespeare  classes.  These  classes  are  given  to  the  in- 
terpretation of  sketches  from  standard  plays  and  the  careful 
study  of  several  Shakespeare  scenes  for  public  presentation. 

One  period  each  week  is  given  to  recital  work,  in  which 
each  student  pursuing  the  regular  course  will  take  part  in 
turn.  Although  these  weekly  recitals  are  a  part  of  the  regular 
work  of  the  course,  visitors  are  always  welcome.  Occasional 
public  recitals  are  given  through  the  year. 

Eight  hours  in  class  work  per  week  and  one  private  lesson 
per  week  for  two  years  constitutes  full  work  in  the  depart- 
ment aside  from  the  satisfactory  completion  of  the  two  years' 
course  in  Expression.  A  candidate  for  graduation  must  have 
a  high  school  education,  or  its  equivalent,  and  college  Eng- 
list  I  and  IV.  Six  hours'  credit,  to  be  applied  on  the  regular 
college  course,  is  given  for  full  work  in  the  Junior  year  and 
four  hours  for  the  Senior  year,  making  a  total  of  ten  hours' 
credit  for  the  completion  of  the  full  two  years'  course.

SOCIAL  LIFE 

It  is  the  aim  of  Morningside  College  to  give  sympathetic 
guidance  to  the  social  activities  of  the  young  people  educated 
under  her  care.  The  rules  governing  boarding  houses  for 
young  women  are  such  as  to  fully  protect  them  and  to  con- 
serve the  reputation  of  the  institution  for  safety  and  decorum. 
There  is  opportunity  through  the  social  features  of  the  col- 
lege for  all  students  to  become  acquainted  with  one  another. 
Through  social  life,  in  its  many  aspects,  is  encouraged,  ex- 
cessive devotion  to  such  distractions  as  would  tend  to  dissipate 
the  energy  and  time  of  students  from  the  leading  purpose  of 
college  training  is  not  permited 

The  friendships  formed  in  college  constitutes  a  priceless 
treasure. 

Persons,  who  value  the  friendships  of  strong  men  and 
women  in  their  college  life,  will  appreciate  the  fact  that  here 
the  number  of  students  is  not  large  as  to  prevent  wide  ac- 
quaintance between  students  and  faculty  members,  nor  so 
small  as  to  lead  to  the  embarrassment  from  lack  of  inspiration 
due  to  small  numbers.  One  of  the  most  important  factors  is 
the  personal  touch.  It  distinguished  the  product  of  the  small 
college,  in  which  individual  attention  is  possible  for  all  stu- 
dents, from  the  large  university,  where  numbers  are  greater 
and  where  the  personal  touch  is  usually  not  possible.  The 
Chief  Justice  of  the  State  of  Maine  puts  it  well  when  he  said 
that  the  difference  between  the  large  university  and  the  small 
college  is  that,  "in  the  large  university  the  student  goes 
through  more  college,  but  in  the  smaller  institution,  more  col- 
lege goes  through  the  student." 


SPIRIT  AND  IDEALS 

The  chance  visitor  at  Morningside  College  is  impressed 
with  the  democracy  of  the  place,  the  happiness  of  the  student 
body,  and  the  unity  of  all  interests  to  one  purpose. 

The  fact  that  many  students,  who  work  their  way  through 
college,  thereby  suffer  no  disability  in  social  leadership,  is  in- 
dicative of  a  democracy  seldom  seen  elsewhere  to  the  same 
extent. 

The  student  who  might  go  wrong  here  would  do  so  in 
spite  of  many  helpful  and  powerful  agencies  that  seek  to  hold 
him  to  honor  and  sound  character.  With  the  college  author- 
ities firmly  set  against  excesses  and  with  the  strong  influence 
of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  the  moral  tone  of  the 
school  cannot  be  otherwise  than  uplifting.  The  Christian 
Associations   are   active,  wide   awake   bodies,   entirely   in  the 


18 

hands  of  devoted  young  men  and  women,  whose  purpose  it 
is  to  safeguard  the  characters  and  lives  of  the  students  and 
to  stimulate  the  Christian  life  of  the  college.  They  welcome 
the  new  students  at  the  incoming  trains,  assist  them  in  geting 
located  and  try  in  every  way  to  make  their  life  cheerful  and 
beneficial.  They  provide  natural  leadership  in  all  the  spirit- 
ual affairs  of  student  life. 

While  Morningside  College  is  under  the  patronage  of  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  it  is  in  no  sense  sectarian.  Per- 
sons of  every  religious  persuasion  find  equal  welcome  here 
and  congenial  companship.  The  personnel  of  the  faculty, 
represents,  at  present,  five  or  six  different  denominations, 
while  the  student  body  contains  members  from  nearly  all  the 
representative  religious  bodies. 

The  advantages  of  living  in  such  a  community  are  repre- 
sented not  only  in  broad-mindedness  and  democracy,  but  also 
in  the  deepening  effect  on  one's  own  experience   and  in  the 
sympathy  for  the  views  and  opinions  of  others,  so  essential 
to  true  scholarship. 

STUDENT  ACTIVITIES 

Athletics  for  Women:  The  college  curriculum  provides 
ample  time  and  space  for  the  culture  of  the  body.  The  ath- 
letic life  of  the  women  is  not  neglected.  Under  the  direction 
of  well-trained  physical  directors,  the  physical  development 
of  the  women  is  provided  for  throughout  the  school  year. 

The  women  of  the  college  have  their  athletic  contests 
and  play  basketball,  hockey,  baseball,  and  other  games  in  sea- 
son. The  "M.  C."  sweater  is  the  coveted  possession  of  every 
girl  in  college  and  is  awarded  to  any  girl  who  wins  a  desig- 
nated number  of  points  in  various  athletic  contests.  The  girls' 
athletic  are  open  to  every  girl  of  collegiate  standing. 

Athletics  for  Men:  The  athletics  for  men  of  the  school 
are  open  to  every  man  of  collegiate  standing.  Morningside 
has  enviable  records  in  all  branches  of  college  sports.  The 
"M"  sweater  is  the  prized  possession  of  every  ambitious  ath- 
lete and  is  won  as  a  distinct  honor  for  faithful  and  dilligent 
work.  In  every  branch  of  sports,  football,  basketball,  track 
and  baseball,  wrestling  and  tennis,  every  man  has  an  equal 
opportunity.  The  college  recognizes  the  merit  of  victory  as 
well  as  the  disciplinary  value  of  defeat  in  all  contests  and  the 
college  aims  to  give  every  man  an  all  around  physical  devel- 
opment. 

Forensics:  Morningside  is  proud  of  her  records  in  for- 
ensics.  Several  cash  prizes  and  gold  medals  are  offered  each 
year  to  students  to  encourage  superior  excellence  in  oratory 
and  debate.      Interest   and  effort  are   thus   stimulated  in  the 


19 


attainment  of  high  standards.  Inter-collegiate  contests  are 
held  each  year  in  debate  and  oratory.  Morningside  is  a  mem- 
ber of  the  State  Oratorical  Association,  State  Prohibition  Ora- 
torical League  and  Pi  Kappa  Delta,  a  national  fraternity  in 
inter-collegiate  debate.  Special  courses  are  given  to  those 
who  are  interested  in  debate  and  oratory. 

STUDENT  ORGANIZATIONS 

The  Young  Men's  and  Young  Women's  Christian  Asso- 
ciations are  active  organizations,  having  a  strong  influence  in 
intensifying  the  Christian  life  and  activity  of  the  students. 
They  are  a  spiritual  force  in  the  school.  Under  their  direc- 
tion are  held  devotional  meetings  each  Wednesday  evening, 
and  often  special  prayer  services.  Bible  classes  are  conducted 
by  members  of  the  Association  each  week,  giving  helpful 
training  to  Christian  workers.  There  are  also  mission  study 
classes,  through  whose  efforts  a  number  of  valuable  books  on 
the  subject  of  missions  have  been  placed  in  the  college  library. 

These  organizations  have  regular  committees  to  meet  the 
trains  at  the  opening  of  each  term  and  to  assist  students  in 
securing  rooms. 

There  are  eight  college  literary  societies,  which  have  halls 
on  the  third  floor  of  College  Hall.  They  meet  weekly  and 
afford  excellent  oportunity  for  drill  in  parlimentary  rules,  in 
writing,  speaking  and  debating.  Three  of  these  societies,  the 
Philomathean,  Othonian,  and  Ionian,  are  maintained  by  the 
young  men  of  the  college,  and  three,  the  Athenaeum,  Zeta- 
lethean,  and  Pieria,  by  the  young  women,  above  Freshman 
standing.  The  Ishkoodah  club  is  a  literary  organization  open 
to  all  women  of  Freshman  standing.  The  Swastika  Club  is  a 
literary  organization  open  to  all  men  of  Freshman  standing. 

The  Chemistry  Club  is  comprised  of  students  who  are 
doing  major  work  in  the  department  and  other  students  in- 
terested in  chemistry.  Meetings  are  held  Wednesday  evenings 
during  the  academic  year  for  lectures  or  reports  and  discus- 
sions of  chemical  problems  found  in  current  literature. 

The  Agora  Club  is  an  organization  composed  of  all  the 
girls  in  school,  the  purpose  of  which  is  to  promote  mutual 
fellowship,  further  college  activities,  and  consider  subjects 
of  interest  to  women.  Through  its  large  and  representative 
board  it  manages  in  the  interest  of  health  a  "Keep  Fit"  cam- 
paign, provides  a  series  of  health  lectures,  it  also  manages 
organized  sports  for  women  under  the  leadership  of  the  Phy- 
sical Director  for  Women,  a  vocational  conference,  the  wo- 
men's banquet  and  the  May  Day  Fete,  it  conducts  a  big  sister 
movement  and  operates  a  point  system  whereby  different  col- 


20 

lege  activities  are  evaluated  and  participation  in  student  ac- 
tivities is  limited. 

The  "M"  Club  is  composed  of  the  athletes  in  school  who 
have  won  the  "M"  in  any  of  the  four  regular  athletic  teams: 
football,  basketball,  track  or  baseball. 

The  "M.  C."  Club  is  an  organization  open  to  any  woman 
who  has  earned  as  many  as  fifey  points  in  the  following 
sports:  volley  ball,  baseball,  basketball,  hockey,  tennis,  and 
hikes.  The  purpose  of  the  organization  is  to  stimulate  inter- 
est and  participation  in  play  as  contributing  to  physical  and 
mental  development. 

The  Student  Council.  This  is  composed  of  two  represen- 
tatives from  each  of  the  college  classes,  including  the  class 
presidents,  the  presidents  of  the  Student  Association,  the 
Agora  Club,  the  "M"  Club,  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  and  the  Y.  W. 
C.  A.,  the  editor  of  the  "Collegian  Reporter,"  and  two  rep- 
resentatives from  the  Academy.  The  purpose  of  the  Council 
is  to  serve  as  a  means  of  communication  between  students  and 
faculty  and  to  secure  co-operation  upon  all  matters  of  in- 
terest and  importance  to  the  college. 

Musical  Organizations.  The  college  musical  organiza- 
tions are :  The  Men's  Glee  Club,  the  Madrigal  Club  (the  Wo-

ervision over  all  the  forensic  activities  of  the  college.  It  is 
divided  into  various  sub-committees,  each  having  charge  of 
certain  inter-society  and  inter-collegiate  contests  in  oratory 
and  debate.  The  head  of  the  Department  of  Public  Speaking 
is  the  permanent  chairman  of  the  league.

PUBLICATIONS 

The  College  Bulletin  is  published  monthly  in  the  inter- 
ests of  the  college.  It  serves  as  a  medium  to  keep  friends 
informed  concerning  items  of  interest  and  the  progress  of 
the  institution,  and  to  inform  the  public  of  the  facilities  of- 
fered by  the  institution.  It  is  sent  to  prospective  students, 
teachers,  contributors  to  the  institution,  alumni,  members  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees  and  any  others  who  may  be  interested. 
It  will  be  sent  regularly,  free  of  charge,  to  anyone  on  appli- 
cation to  the  President  of  the  college. 

The  College  Catalogue  is  regularly  issued  in  April  of 
each  year  and  is  sent  on  request  to  anyone  interested. 

The  Sioux,  a  200-page  illustrated  volume,  is  issued  an- 
nually by  the  Junior  Class. 


EXPENSES 

It  is  the  aim  of  Morningside  College  to  keep  the  expenses 
as  low  as  is  consistent  with  the  best  service  and  thus  to  ren- 
der the  advantages  of  the  College  available  not  only  to  the 
well-to-do,  but  also  to  such  worthy  and  yet  needy  students  as 
may  be  eager  for  an  education.  This  effort  has  created  in 
the  institution  a  healthy  sentiment  against  various  forms  of 
extravagance  and  dissipation.  The  college  is  committed  both 
in  principal  and  by  tradition  to  a  policy  which  opposes  need- 
less waste  of  money  as  well  as  of  time  and  talent.  The  insti- 
tution encourages  and  tries  to  make  possible  a  condition  here 
in  which  there  is  a  maximum  of  usefulness  and  a  minimum  of 
expense. 

The  rates  are  kept  low  only  by  the  fact  that  Morningside 
College  has  a  large  endowment  and  because  interested  friends 
continue  to  give  her  money  with  a  view  to  lessening  the  ex- 
penses of  her  students.  The  stand?  rd  of  living  is  modest  and 
in  keeping  with  the  demands  of  the  average  individual.  This 
permits  the  utilizing  of  virtually  the  entire  expenditure  of  the 
student  in  the  pursuit  of  his  education.  The  importance  of 
this  fact  cannot  be  over-emphasized.  There  are  no  money 
and  time-consuming  fraternities;  no  distracting  organizations, 
divorced  from  the  interests  of  the  college.  This  is  especially 
advantageous  in  view  of  the  fact  that  a  large  number  of  our 
students  earn  all,  or  part,  of  their  college  expenses. 

College  Tuition:     Perhaps  the  largest  single  expense  that 


22 


the  student  necessarily  incurs  is  the  tuition  fee  of  $100.  Of 
the  $100,  $50  must  be  paid  at  the  beginning  of  the  first  se- 
mester of  school  and  $50  at  the  beginning  of  the  second  se- 
mester of  school  in  January.  These  are  the  fees  which  every 
student  must  pay.  There  is  also  an  incidental  fee  which  varies 
depending  upon  the  course  pursued.  This  fee  is  due  at  the 
beginning  of  each  semester  of  school  and  includes  laboratory 
fees,  to  cover  use  of  laboratory  apparatus,  lecture  course 
ticket,  admission  to  all  inter-collegiate  games,  debates  and 
contests,  and  subscription  to  Collegian  Reporter. 

Board:  The  second  large  item  of  expense  for  which  a 
student  must  plan  is  his  board.  This  item  will  vary  with  the 
place  where  the  student  boards.  At  private  boarding  clubs, 
it  runs  about  $5.00  per  week.  At  student  boarding  clubs  it 
will  run  between  $4.00  and  $5.00  per  week.  Board  can  be 
secured  at  the  cafes  and  restaurants  where  meal  tickets  are 
sold. 

Room:  The  third  large  item  of  expense  for  which  a  stu- 
dent must  plan  is  his  room.  The  price  of  room  will  vary  with 
the  taste  of  the  occupant.  However,  a  desirable  room  can 
be  secured  for  $12.00  to  $15.00  per  month,  for  two  students 
in  a  room.  Where  a  person  desires  to  occupy  the  room  alone 
the  price  remains  about  the  same. 

Books  and  Stationery:  In  addition  to  the  three  items 
mentioned  there  are  numerous  small  expenses  which  a  person 
must  consider.  Books  can  be  secured  at  the  College  Book 
Store,  and  in  many  cases  second  hand  books  can  be  purchased 
to  minimize  expenses.  Stationery,  paper,  pencils,  etc.,  will 
be  needed.  These  items  should  not  amount  to  more  than 
$25  for  the  year. 

Clothes:  The  clothes  item  is  one  that  varies  to  a  great 
extent  with  the  desires  of  the  individual.  The  democracy  of 
dress  at  Morningside  has  been  mentioned  by  many  visitors  of 
the  institution.  While  it  is  rather  difficult  to  estimate,  yet 
it  can  be  conservatively  stated  that  this  item  should  not 
amount  to  much  more  than  the  regular  clothes  expense  of  a 
person  while  in  the  home. 

Incidental  Items:  There  are  a  large  number  of  small 
items  which  always  enter  into  one's  personal  expenses,  such 
as  car  fare,  postage,  gifts,  railroad  fare,  shoes  repaired, 
amusement,  refreshments,  etc.  Here  again  much  depends 
upon  the  individual  taste  of  the  young  person.  A  survey  was 
made  of  student  expenses  last  year  and  this  item  amounted  to 
about  $100  for  the  average  student.

SELF  HELP 

The  college  desires  to  encourage  and  help  every  self- 
supporting  student  and  to  render  them  every  possible  as- 
sistance. The  college  and  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  maintain  a  stu- 
dent employment  bureau  free  of  cost  to  students.  Scores  of 
students  are  put  in  touch  with  jobs  through  this  bureau  and 
assisted  in  meeting  college  expenses.  The  fact  that  Morn- 
ingside  is  the  only  Liberal  Arts  College  in  Sioux  City,  with  a 
population  of  over  78,000  people,  gives  students  dependent 
upon  their  own  resources  ample  opportunity  to  find  part- 
time  employment.  There  is  probably  no  school  in  the  middle 
west  where  such  favorable  advantages  are  offered  for  self- 
supporting  students,  ambitious  and  anxious  for  a  college  edu- 
cation. Over  65%  of  the  students  this  year  make  all  c  r  a 
part  of  their  expense  during  the  year.  The  college  would  be 
glad  to  give  any  prospective  student  further  information 
about  the  possibilities  of  self-help  at  Morningside. 

SCHOLARSHIPS  AND  LOAN  FUNDS 

The  college  has  a  number  of  scholarships  yielding  full 
tuition.  These  are  awarded  to  students  on  the  basis  of  schol- 
arship and  need  of  help  to  meet  expenses.  An  honor  schol- 
arship, entitling  the  holder  to  a  year's  tuition,  will  be  awarded 
the  graduates  of  accredited  high  schools,  attaining  the  high- 
est work. 

Loans  from  the  Board  of  Education  may  be  secured  on 
recommendation  of  the  college,  by  members  of  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church  who  are  also  recommended  by  the  church 
to  which  they  belong.  Satisfactory  scholarships,  good  char- 
acter, and  promise  of  service  are  essentials  to  securing  such 
assistance.

SIOUX  CITY 

Not  the  least  of  the  advantages  of  Morningside  College 
is  the  fact  that  she  is  located  in  a  city.  The  home  city  of  a 
college  is  all  a  part  of  the  environment — the  campus — of  the 
college.  It  is  a  part  of  the  library,  a  part  of  the  curriculum 
and  no  inconsiderable  part  of  the  laboratory  experience  of 
the  student.  After  all,  the  problems  are  where  people  are 
and  one  of  the  most  important  elements  of  your  education  is 
an  APPRECIATION  OF  PROBLEMS.  Morningside  College 
is  a  part  of  Sioux  City.  The  citizens  have  been  very  loyal  in 
their  support  of  the  college.  The  facilities  of  city  life  are 
open  to  the  college  students. 

Sioux  City  is  a  commercial  center.  She  has  built  up 
great  wholesale  and  jobbing  houses  and  has  become  the  mar- 
ket town  of  a  vast  territory.  Groceries,  dry  goods,  fruits, 
candies,  notions,  hardware,  automobiles — practically  every 
line  of  goods  needed  in  a  community  are  either  manufactured 
or  jobbed  through  the  big  distributors  of  the  city.  The  pack- 
ing and  live  stock  industries  furnish  employment  for  over  six 
thousand  men  and  involves  a  manufacturing  output  of  such 
dimensions  as  to  place  Sioux  City  at  the  top  of  the  list  as  the 
greatest  manufacturing  city  of  Iowa. 

The  opportunities  for  cultural  development  are  many.  A 
splendid  public  library  with  a  staff  of  librarians  and  assist- 
ants not  surpassed  for  courtesy  and  efficiency  in  America. 
A  musical  concert  course,  including  the  master  artists  of  the 
world,  is  an  annual  function.  A  high  class  lecture  course  is 
conducted  each  winter.  Bird  Clubs,  Science  Clubs,  Art 
Clubs,  Music  Clubs,  Boy  Scouts,  Camp  Fire  Girls  and  a  host 
of  other  organizations  abound,  all  of  them  active  and  enthu- 
siastic in  elevating  the  position  of  Sioux  City  in  their  own  par- 
ticular line. 

The  social  and  religious  work  is  well  organized.  The 
missions  are  glad  to  accept  the  assistance  of  college  students 
and  thus  afford  to  the  young  people  a  closer  and  more  detailed 
view  of  some  of  our  social  problems.  The  work  of  the  Juve- 
nile Court,  the  Associated  Charities,  and  such  institutions, 
give  an  added  opportunity  to  study  those  phases  of  social 
problems  which  are  pressing  us  hard  at  present  for  solution. 

From  every  standpoint,  Morningside's  location  is  ex- 
cellent. The  college  proper  is  situated  in  one  of  the  best  res- 
ident sections  of  good  homes,  under  the  shadow  of  an  ener- 
getic church.  The  young  people  entrusted  to  the  college  will 
have  the  benefits  of  a  quiet  environment  with  all  of  the  ad- 
vantages of  city  life  at  easy  access. 


This  pamphlet  has  been  prepared  to 
give  to  young  people  interested  in  col- 
lege some  facts  about  Morningside 
which  it  is  hoped  will  be  of  service  to 
them  in  planning  for  a  college  educa- 
tion. 

Further  information  about  any  mat- 
ters pertaining  to  college  work  will  be 
gladly  furnished  upon  application  by
